i am sure we will make that a big part of our discussion. there are two ways to measure how redistricting affects the big picture in the house. you could look in terms of the scorecard i just went over, which if you add up those columns, is going to end up ahead at the end of the day. i think it will be very close to a wash, depending on florida. it is possible democrats could pick up a handful from the process, which is surprising, given that republicans aren't some in the state legislative chambers and picked up some much control in 2010. but the other side of the equation is really, how much are republicans and to shore up gains made in 2010? that is part of the question that has been more difficult for a lot of us in the pundit world to quantify. but one measurement that was suggested at real clear politics.com, and i appreciate this more than a lot of other metrics that have been thrown out there, it is take the mediant seat in the house. how far to the right is a move as a result of republicans in pennsylvania and ohio and michigan, st

guest: it is one of the big concerns. in the statute, it says that ipab is very constrained in what it may recommend, and that it may not ration care or at costs to a beneficiaries pay. it can only recommend changes to provider payments. congress is concerned that if you cut provider payments to much, they will stop taking medicare patients. that is a real concern. we see that in what happened in the balanced budget act passed in 1997, with physician payments, they set up this new formula and it worked for a couple of years and since then it has not worked very well. there were recommended cuts to physician and payments and congress has put it off again and again and again and they have dug this huge hole. to fix the problem would cost $300 billion. there is aware that the same thing could happen with ipab, that although congress cannot make the cuts go away, they would have to make other cuts. although it says explicitly you cannot ration care, there is the worry about cutting payments to much. what the secretary is putt
